Will Kill EA serious those guys are genious. Cods sucks but Bungie new Game will kill EA.

"Cods sucks but Bungie new Game will kill EA"

How the hell does ONE game "kill" an entire publisher? Explain this to me please.

@Hiphop- Can't wait to see the show man. Keep doing what your doing. You have my support.

omi25p4784d ago

if logic wins then why do you support hiphop, because surely if you had any logic you would know its all complete bs?

LOGICWINS4784d ago

Sony supports Hiphop, heck they gave him his own space in Home.

By YOUR logic, Sony has no logic because they are supporting a person that in YOUR opinion is "complete bs." Are you saying that SCEA has poor judgement?

Blad3star4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

HHG says that he is %75 of the reason Kratos is in MK. So Sony is 15% and the developers of MK are 10% -_-

I have never seen some one so full of them self's.

Edit: Also why rub it in and laugh that the PS3 version sold more than the 360 version - we know that the PS3 is your console of choice but real game journalist play all the systems and dont care about which one sold more.

@LOGICWINS

Just because someone or something supports something, doesn't make it good.

Same reason there are companies searching for people on Youtube to promote and exploit from. Why do you think FRED of all people got his own crappy movie. Any company will find something popular and use it for their benefit, even if it sucks, and even if they know it sucks. Seeing how HHG knows absolutely jack squat about this industry and pretty much technology in general, he's built off a persona using urban culture to carry himself to the position he's in.

For a better/tl;dr example you can watch this. Maddox speaks the truth.

"Just because someone or something supports something, doesn't make it good."

Your twisting my words around. The only point I was making was that if I "supposedly" have no logic for supporting HHG, then Sony has no logic as well since they are supporting the same thing.

Now back to my original and ONLY question:

Does SCEA have poor judgement for supporting HHG? Yes or No?

Why is my question being avoided?

vishant1014784d ago

ok bungie has made one ip that has had a significant impact on the gaming world but the one ip they did make was the game that made gaming bigger than the movie industry halo 2 was the biggest entertainment earner of all time when it came out even being single platform it was huge if they could do that i cant wait to see what they do when they go multi plat

Eiffel4784d ago

@LOGICWINS

Well in two answers, as a company it's a smart decision, but morally it's a terrible decision.

LOGICWINS4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

"Seeing how HHG knows absolutely jack squat about this industry..."

This is what you wrote, but now your contradicting yourself by saying that Sony as a company made a "smart decision" How would it be "smart" for Sony to support a person that knows "absolutely jack squat" about the industry?

Eiffel4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

How is him not knowing jack about the industry make their choice to use him for their benefit a contradiction? Do you not understand how advertising companies work? You're making it sound as if just because SCEA chose him to be their puppet, it's the right choice regardless, it's smart business wise for their purpose. It's called exploiting his popularity for their benefit, it's a not a foreign move by any company, derp FRED movie.

EDIT: Why do you constantly edit your comment right after you post it, don't post it unless you've gotten your full say, your questions go unanswered.

EDIT 2: Yeah but that's not helping yourself if it's a question and or statement, chances are it's gonna be missed.

LOGICWINS4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

"How is him not knowing jack about the industry make their choice to use him for their benefit a contradiction?"

Because I assume that Sony wants the people representing them to know what their doing.

Unless your saying that the only reason Sony wants HHG on board is because they want a black Hiphop loving cheerleader for their games as a marketing tool towards the urban crowd(similar to Marcus)

In this case, your argument would make sense.

"Why do you constantly edit your comment right after you post it, don't post it unless you've gotten your full say, your questions go unanswered."

Hrm...because I think of more things to say. Call me crazy, but thats probably one of the reasons an edit button exists.

@Eiffel- Yeah, I now see what ur saying.

Eiffel4784d ago

@LOGICWINS

EXACTLY. High Five.

captain-obvious4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

i dont know about you guys
but i dont think that Bungie's next game would be as big as HALO

lets get real in here
Halo is a good game but without that MS hype/advertising machine it would had never been that big of a game

and i dont think activision is going to give this game any COD treatment since
1- its not COD
2- Bungie said that they told activision in order to work with them they dont want anyone to fuck around with them while doing their game

so yah

''Bungie
Will Kill EA serious those guys are genious. Cods sucks but Bungie new Game will kill EA. ''

I don't know what are you saying.

COD Sucks, yeah, but what do you know about Bungie next project? Will they deliver what EA can deliver with the new Battlefield 3? Let's wait to see.

By the way, EA is just the publisher, and DICE the Developer for BF.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4784d ago

If any comparison:

Publisher: EA vs Activision
Developer: DICE vs Bungie

Redgehammer4783d ago

Nice sentiment, would love to see it practice. I don't want to call the sentiment naive, how about altruistic?

units4784d ago

no way in hell im approving of this crap

iamnsuperman4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

Agree
"next gen technology with current gen platform" WTF does that mean. He is talking about PS4 stuff on a PS3 (he actually says that to)....urmmmmm I might not be an expert like you (HHG) but that seems to make little sense

"From what I am hearing Bungie are going to top that"....I call PR bull which you (HHG) has fell for. You do not know anything. Have you seen anything. no. just total word of mouth.

omi25p4784d ago

This had over 6 reports how does it get approved? Godamn mods.....

DelbertGrady4784d ago

Simple. HHG uses staff/friends to approve it. Videogameszone.de does it too. Always the same approvers.

I've pm'ed the mods about it but they don't seem to care about the quality of the submissions if it's from someone who usually gets lots of heat.

Persistantthug4784d ago (Edited 4784d ago )

Great entertainment. :)

Edit....just in case you don't understand,

Well, ONCE AGAIN, here you people go, claiming to dislike HipHopGamer, but yet, you can't stop talking about him....it's like he consistantly MAKES you think and talk about him.

He owns your minds.

I love it. lol

omi25p4784d ago

you act as if im talking about him personally as if i give a damn.

Im actually talking about how the mods allow his rubbish onto this site when it has 6+ reports.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman12d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath212d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai18d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga17d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole15d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville15d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5218d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_17d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville15d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM17d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka17d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_17d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
